Since last November he has been working on and off with the film’s director Rupert Sanders. This marks Sanders’ first experiment with feature films after being involved previously with video game commercials.

At the recent Comic-Con, Sanders and producer Joe Roth told the crowd that the filmmakers “want to make the definitive version of the Grimm’s Fairy Tale, on a scale of Lord of the Rings".

Fraser, who moved to Los Angeles about two years ago, confirmed they will primarily be shooting on film.

“We’ve tested quite a number of formats but are using film primarily,” he says.

“The digital formats tested quite well, but we felt film had a more classic look, that better served the story.”

While not elaborating on what cameras he will be using on Snow White, Fraser says he is a fan of the ALEXA.

“We tested the ALEXA for Cogan’s Trade and we were really impressed with that,” he begins.

“I’ve been talking quite a lot to Roger Deakins [ASC, BSC] who is a mad fan of the ALEXA – he’s been suggesting I test it for a long time and he’s just done his last film on it…so I thought we’d look at it.

The filmmakers, however, instead opted to use Panavision XL’s with G series anamorphic lenses. Fraser used relatively new stock Kodak 500T Colour Negative 5230/7230. Filming on the Andrew Dominik-directed flick lasted about eight weeks, with a lot of night shooting and rain.

Cogan’s Trade is set to be released next year, while Snow White and the Huntsman starts filming on August 15.
